Patient's question:
I have some whitehead-like particles on my glans, and it's very red and wrinkled. Lately, when I urinate, there's always white discharge coming out, and it's extremely itchy. I went to see a doctor and they said it's balanitis. Please ask: How long does balanitis take to heal, and is it safe?Doctor's answer:
Phimosis is an inflammation of the external genitalia. It is caused by unclean living habits, and the treatment duration is generally closely related to the patient's own lifestyle. It is recommended to maintain good living hygiene habits. Medication can be taken orally locally, usually for about a week. Phimosis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
